Hi

This worked after I followed this used sudo R and also added a CRAN
destination to my etc sources file

I got a new error

some packages are not being updated now

 they give this error

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lf77blas
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -latlas

and

Cannot find curl-config


also is there any way of NOT having to download all packages from scratch
while updating to a new version of R

regards

Ajay
